Description 

This quarry has a number of good lines from the delicate slab taken by Millwheel Wall (5.10b) to the stamina sapping layback of Zeus (5.10c).

Good climbing at a more amiable grade than the nearby Southern Quarry.


Getting There 

Walk along the base of the crag for about 50 yards from Southern Quarry - Eastern Wall.
